NAME

       unattended-upgrade - automatic installation of security (and other) upgrades

SYNOPSIS

       unattended-upgrade [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This program can download and install security upgrades automatically and unattended, taking care to only
       install packages from the configured APT source, and checking for dpkg prompts about  configuration  file
       changes. All output is logged to /var/log/unattended-upgrades/*.log.

       This  script  is the backend for the APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade option and designed to be run from
       cron (e.g. via /etc/cron.daily/apt).

OPTIONS

       unattended-upgrade accepts the following options:

       -h, --help
              help output

       -d, --debug
              extra debug output into /var/log/unattended-upgrades.log

       --dry-run
              Just simulate installing updates, do not actually do it

CONFIGURATION

       The configuration is done via the apt configuration mechanism. The  default  configuration  file  can  be
       found at /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
